Another 24 hours and no copied character. Another 24 hours and no Old Man Dave of buffer. Test it yourself. Why do I even play this game? Can SOE please sell this game to another company that will actually DO something with it?

You must already have a character on Beta for any copied characters to show up. So you should login to Beta and make a dummy character then after 1 hour, go back to the Character Select screen and you should see your copied toon.

Hubby made a toon on Beta over the weekend and the goat buffer was not up. I just checked both Antonica and Commonlands docks and he is still not there. I have a sick kiddo home today and dr.'s appt later. Will check back after I am done there. Hoping to get hubby's toon buffed so he can join me.

The primary issues I have with the test environment in general is that it is very user unfriendly. Now that you have changed the name of the server, people need to either know to go in and rename their TestServer folder over to BetaServer or they have to completely re-download the game... unless they know to copy their game into that folder first before patching. Its just too much to have to try and help non tech savvy people through. Most give up and refuse to go through it. Getting set up on test needs to be more user friendly and you will not have so few people testing... that and the beta copy not working was just the icing on the cake. Most people do not want to go through the pain of recreating from scratch. /save /load hotkeys, etc etc etc ...

I had about 26 people... enought to have tested raid content, that wanted to test, and by the time we got through all it took to get people there, I was down to about 4. I really think the worse part of it all is the character copy not working. That killed off about 60% of my testers from even wanting to try.

You have to create a junk toon on the beta server. That is just like the test copy. Once you make the toon play around for a bit. About an hour later your copied toons will show up. Not sure why that is the case though

this is incorrect at the moment. may have been the case in the past. when they first enabled copy to beta, it worked ok and you found your toon(s) within 1-5 hours usually. guild leaders would see their guilds arrive maybe 24 hours after their toons. after maybe 1-3 days of copy to beta working ok, it seemed to break. for everyone. they reworked the script and its being tested on toons copying from test server to beta currently. it works instantly now, as soon as you do /beta or /beta add from a permanent test server toon, you can log out and they will be on beta. to find out more, take a look at the "new beta copy tool" thread. they wanna test it thoroughly before enabling it for live servers, though.

I know htat is how it worked before so I made a junk toon but no copies looks like they changed it and until test gets a chance to test it out I will not be able to get my end level toons on it to test any new content.
